“… While I was laying the dead man’s head on the ground, I noticed with surprise that around his neck he was not wearing the “tau cross” of the Franciscans, as one might expect, but a little serpent with a lion’s head: precisely the “glicon”.
A trail of mysterious deaths runs through the almost thousand-year history of the Rotonda di San Tomè, like a tragic comet of blood.
The brutal murders begin in the 12th century, with the monk Agelasius, and continue to the present day with the lecturer Mauro Veronesi and the conductor Michelangelo Zenoni, but also with the psychic Pennina and other inhabitants of what was the ancient Lemine .
A “fil rouge” unites them and to decipher the bloody trail, which has Bergamo and its valleys as its stage, but above all the Agro del Lemine, will be Cristiana Danesi and Gian Andrea Personeni, the two investigators united by the passion for music and the curiosity about crime. A literary whim to portray another side of the quiet province of Orobic, which is sympathetic to the author, who revisits it with a pinch of mischievous complicity.
